ECOS | Environmental Coalition on Standards

29 November 2021

We are launching a call for tender!

We are looking to subcontract an organisation to support the representation of consumer interests in standardisation work related to Ecodesign and Energy Labelling. Take a look at the tender specification for more information.

ECOS seeks to subcontract an organisation to participate in a set of tasks under the Action Grant “Technical support to stakeholders on standardisation work for energy related products”. The subject of this action is the support to environmental and consumer representation in Technical Committees and Working Groups on standardisation, aiming at promoting and improving the inclusiveness of environmental interests in European standardisation activities.

The overarching objective of ECOS work under this action grant is ensuring that the necessary standardisation needs are anticipated and clearly mandated by the European Commission in the form of Standardisation Requests and that the standards developed in response enable the energy and resource savings forecasted in the legislation through test procedures that are robust, representative of real-life
operation of products and appropriate to support European Ecodesign and Energy Labelling regulations.

With this call, ECOS aims to identify and subcontract an organisation that is suitable to represent and promote consumer interests alongside environmental interests in standardisation technical bodies, and contribute to the implementation of the action.

ECOS is co-funded by the European Commission and EFTA Funded by the European Union.
